It’s a trip to a qualified mechanic – probably on the back of a tow.įor all those troglodytes out there, we’ve tested an Engine Data Scan tool that is used to diagnose mechanical gremlins. While they might have made modern 4x4s more reliable and powerful than ever, when something goes wrong it’s often not a bush-mechanic fix that’s called for. Like them or not, the electronically controlled engine is here to stay, well for the near future anyway. With a bit of ingenuity, luck and mechanical know-how there wasn’t much car owners had to do to get the old girl running again. In years gone by, the old carby could be blown out at the roadside for a quick fix.
